I’m excited to share our new publication: a story exploring how cortical parvalbumin (PV) interneurons modulate motor output in an age-dependent manner! https://t.co/JtlwWaH1Eb #mdpicimb via @CIMB_MDPI

@wolfejosh @kevinweil Hi Josh, upload the paper that you generated to @qedScience to get feedback on your hypothesis (I assume you don't have any figures or results, but still i hope your claims will be scrutinized and it could be useful) https://t.co/XS5o6Wsf9F

The hippocampus is one of the most studied brain areas because of its major role in fundamental brain functions including learning, memory, and spatial navigation.

In a new #ScienceReview, researchers focus on the role of overlooked areas and circuits within the hippocampus. https://t.co/e1q1sKavq8

New Drug Targets Brain Glial Cells to Reverse PTSD Symptoms

PTSD patients often struggle to forget traumatic memories, even when the danger has passed.

New research has uncovered that astrocytes, not neurons, are producing excessive GABA in the medial prefrontal cortex, impairing fear extinction.

This discovery shifts the focus from serotonin-based treatments to glial cell mechanisms.

Using the MAOB inhibitor KDS2010, researchers successfully reversed PTSD-like symptoms in mice.

The drug reduced GABA levels and restored normal blood flow and brain activity.

These findings could reshape PTSD treatment by targeting the cellular origins of fear memory persistence.

Drugs that clear away brain plaques to treat Alzheimer’s disease are a welcome arrival, but researchers argue that targeting amyloid alone might not be enough to halt the disease. Read the @Nature Outlook article. https://t.co/yNejI65Pip

A striking example of how the relationship between motor cortical discharge and EMG can depend on the task (even for CM cells). Might be interesting to test how the identification of output-potent / null subspaces with current methods generalizes across tasks.
